Church Mediation & Consulting
We can Help Repair and Resolve Conflict in Your Community
Sound Familiar?…
When hurt happens in relationships, it’s easy to lose sight of grace and forgiveness. When change Takes longer than Hoped, fear and anxiety may cause people to forget common purpose. Without intervention, there is much to lose.
Leadership is divided
People are forming opposing groups and some are leaving
Sides have developed due to a transition between pastors
Different leadership groups have struggled to communicate well and work together
Conflict between staff is not resolving; the office doesn’t feel safe anymore
We are having problems with our Pastor
“Quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry”... it makes a difference.
Our team guides churches through rough spots caused by conflict and/or change. We emphasize listening while our mediative process brings training, skill building, and safe spaces for dialogue.
We have experience walking through the turbulent waters of church conflict and change across the US. Our proven process can help you refocus on care instead of conflict.
Ways We Can Help

Listening Rhythms
According to most experts 2% of the US has had any formal training on listening, yet throughout the Bible we are told how important listening and waiting are to our spirituality and relationships.
Our team will work with your teams to develop 3 simple listening rhythms to employ in your church community to help bring out what God is doing and directing within your church…
Transition and Change Management
Being in between Pastors is a difficult time. With fewer Pastors entering the availability pool, the interim times can stretch on longer than anyone wants…
This is a great time to heal as a community from conflict, adversity, or even change itself.
We work with church leadership groups (lay, staff, elders/councils) to take advantage of this in-between time to heal, to listen to each other, and to discern God’s vision for their community.
